Abstract
Nosocomial infections (NI) develop in 10% of patients admitted to hospitals, highest frequency beeing observed in intensive care units, in surgery, hemato-oncology, neurology and neonatalogy departments. Highest incidence is represented by urinary tract, respiratory, surgical wounds infections, as well as burns and infections due to percutaneons intravascular devices. From the ethiological point of view there are involved antibiotic – multiresistant bacteria, hospital acquired ones, i.d.: Gram-negative bacilli (Escherichiacoli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella-Enterobacter), Gram-positive coci (Staphylococcus Aureus, Staphylococcus Epidermidis, Enterococcus), Fungi. Mortality is high, the patients beeing hospitalized for a twice longer period, and the hospital costs rise considerably. In the articol, there are detailed presentations of control strategies for the prevention and antibiotic therapie, for each type of NI.
